A widely followed crypto analyst believes Bitcoin (BTC) is on the verge of breaking out against gold.

Crypto trader Michaël van de Poppe tells his 816,800 followers on X that the BTCUSD/gold ratio, which is the value of Bitcoin relative to the price of gold, is showing bullish divergence on the daily chart.

Bullish divergence, which suggests price will start to increase, occurs when the price of assets records lower lows while indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum oscillator indicator, are witnessing higher lows.

“Massive bullish divergence on the daily timeframe for BTCUSD versus gold. Gold comes down, Bitcoin consolidates and this starts to look better. On top of that, given that this is a valid bullish divergence, it implies that Bitcoin is likely to outperform gold in the coming period.

Similar periods of such a bullish divergence:

  • Q3 2024 (just before Bitcoin broke out towards the $100,000 barrier).
  • Q4 2022 (the end of the bear market for Bitcoin).

The big rotation is on the horizon.”

The analyst also says that gold’s price dip on Monday may indicate investors will soon start rotating their gold profits into Bitcoin.

“It’s been an interesting [Monday] on the markets, as gold has corrected substantially. Although the talk of the room won’t be about an extended correction, the fact that it dropped beneath the previous ATH (all-time high) isn’t great. It’s actually marking multiple bearish divergences on timeframes and it took out the sentiment on silver, platinum and palladium in a single daily candle.

This is probably the stage where a lot of people will believe that there’s another leg up on the horizon, while the same group will blame Bitcoin for not going up. That’s the stage where it rotates.”

Bitcoin is trading for $87,975 at time of writing, up marginally on the day. Meanwhile, the BTCUSD/gold ratio is currently trading for around 20 ounces of gold per one Bitcoin.

Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders

Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders

The post Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins 20 September 2025 | 04:17 Crypto traders are facing a steady drip of new supply this month, as project teams and early backers release fresh tokens into circulation. What looks like small percentages on paper is building into meaningful selling pressure across multiple ecosystems. Unlocks Becoming a Market Theme According to an analytics tracker, the past week alone saw millions of dollars’ worth of new coins enter the market from projects such as AltLayer, Blast, Avail, Venom, and Parti. AltLayer added roughly $3.5 million in tokens, while Blast introduced more than $2.3 million. In both cases, the amount represented less than 3% of circulating supply — yet the inflows still weighed heavily on trading sentiment. More Supply Ahead The trend is far from over. Another round of unlocks is scheduled for the week of September 22–28, with AltLayer once again leading the pack. By the time its next batch goes live, over 42% of its total supply will have been released. Other names, including KARRAT, XMW, and Yield Guild Games (YGG), will also add to the flow with their own token distributions. Unlocks matter because they create a constant overhang. Even if each release looks minor, stacked together week after week, they erode the balance between supply and demand. AltLayer’s back-to-back schedule makes this clear: the market isn’t just dealing with isolated events but with a pipeline of tokens waiting to be sold. Bigger Picture For traders, that means strategy has to adjust. Pricing these unlocks into positions becomes just as important as monitoring macro conditions or ETF inflows. While unlocks don’t guarantee downward pressure, the compounding effect is already a defining feature of September’s market — one that could shape trading dynamics well into the fourth quarter.
